Mr.Nightshade: "God told me to stop smoking, so I stopped smoking. But the more I
thought about it, the madder I got. I like to smoke, so why should God
tell me to stop smoking? It made me really mad. I wasn't going to let
God tell me what I can and can't do, so I started smoking again and I
told him to be quiet."

God gives us that free will bug a boo and expects us to be smart enough or mature enough or savy enough or educable enough to use it properly. Then he goes quiet and then we really mess things up.Smoke em if you got em.

The ad alongside of this post is for drug detox and alcohol detox. I wonder if it is a message from God? "Honest, God, I only have one drink a day and sometimes NONE(unless it the weekend and there is a party at a rich friend's house and they have out the good stuff...) You can understand how I might have two or three under those circumstances, right, God?"

Mr. Nightshade has every right in the world to ask God about handguns, and own as many firearms, like a Bushmaster XM15-E2S, as he so desires. And if he uses them to massacre a crowd of innocent adults and children, that's a small price to pay for freedom. And isn't freedom what America is all about?
